Can blepharitis or MDG cause red bumps in the under eye circle area?

I'm just wondering...I keep getting red bumps near my eyes on and off since my dry eyes got worse. I have acne and often think that's what it is only most of the time I never got acne in certain areas (over the eye but under brow, or in the circle region under the eye.) Since having had blephex done...

A question regarding cauterisation...

Evening all,

It has been a long time since I last posted on this forum. My eyes have improved considerably following a procedure for temporary eye plugs (upper and lowers). Unfortunately, my uppers are reluctant to stay in! My doctor has recommended that I get my upper tear ducts cauterised...

What to use at night?

My right eye does not stay completely closed when I sleep, so I wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I have a knife in my eye. I�ve been using night time ointments, but now Refresh is unavailable and Equate has been recalled! What do I do??

My LipiView - What do you think of it?

Hi,

Does anyone here have conjunctival chalasis (CCH)?

I was just re-reading the diagnosis sheet today from my last appointment at Moorfields 2 months ago and it says I have conjunctival chalasis (CCH). I remember the doctor telling me I had this but playing it down saying it was minimal and didn't require surgical correction.

A message of hope

I'm better. Actually much better. I never thought three years ago that this would ever again be the case. Burning every waking moment. Eyelids sticking to my eyeballs at night. Significant depression. No real desire to continue on. I had zero Schirmer in one eye and 2mm in the other. My Lipiview...
